Got my Covid booster and flu shot in mid November. For 2 days now I’ve been pretty sick with aches all over, headaches, dehydration despite pounding water, severe chills, nasty coughing where it feels like someone beat my mid section with a baseball bat.
I’m in my early 40s and tested negative for Covid yesterday, but I’ll be damned if isn’t some flu variant or Covid. Might need to test again since last time I had nasty symptoms for 5 days before my test barely registered positive. It won’t change anything, but I’d rather confirm my suspicions.
Did they test for Pneumonia or Whooping cough? Those are going around right now. Apparently there is a pneumonia variant that is mild enough that people try to treat the symptoms and will proceed with life as normal
Pneumonia is just a symptom of any number of things including covid, the flu, or a bad cold. Basically, any infection that spreads to the lungs.
I did a self test, was waiting to see if it started to get better before I decide to go into a walk in on Friday.
If you have been coughing for longer than 7 days it is most likely one of those 2 things. Hope you feel better
Thank you!
I’ve been coughing for only two days. Last night was the worst but today, during the day, felt like less overall coughing. I am not currently working as I’m doing a career switch and working on certifications so mostly I just need to protect my wife and kid.
